I believe I vastly overreacted during that period.

Yes, I was terribly hurt.

Yes, her behavior was sleazy.

But: you know. Yeah? So?


What would have been the right thing to say to me?

"Hey. I'm dumping both you and Mister Two for a new Mister Three. Don't panic. The sky's not falling. I still love you and we're still best friends."

Could I have survived that?

Sure.


What would have been the right thing to say to her?

"Hey. My feelings are hurt big. I'm worried because you're not talking to me. I love you and it's important to me to know that we're still friends. How about we take a break for a while, you do your fling thing with Mister Three, and we have lunch when we're ready?"

Could she have survived that?

Not in a million.


I've got you on my mind
I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to go

Tears begin to fall
Every time I hear your name
Tears begin to fall
Every time I hear your name
But since you went away
Nothing seems to be the same
